Julie Boyten woke to shards of sheetrock falling on her face, a bullet missing her by inches.

“The bullet missed my head by this much,” she said this morning, after shots were fired at her house at 1017 Franklin Street.

Bullet holes at the back of the house and one in the bedroom.

The house was shot at the side and back, the kitchen window shattered and repeated bullet holes at the rear of the house where the sheetrock woke Boyten upstairs.

She didn’t discover the shattered window until this morning.

Roanoke Rapids police Detectives Corey Dixon and Jeff Baggett worked in the bedroom of the house looking for bullet fragments.

Captain Andy Jackson said detectives found four bullet fragments.

The evidence suggests at least two people shot at the house, one with a shotgun and the other with a handgun, Jackson said.

Boyten and her friend, Curtis Harris, have been living in the mill house for about a month and haven’t had any trouble.

Investigators are still trying to determine what prompted the shooting, Jackson said. “We have some people of interest.”

The shooting has not changed Boyten’s mind to stay in the neighborhood. “I’m not going to move. It’s a nice house and a nice neighborhood. I ain’t going anywhere.”

Jackson said the police department hopes anyone who saw something around 11 p.m. Thursday will call 911 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444. “Keeping neighborhoods crime free is a community effort.”
